Comparing that to a more detailed map, the 'origin' area looks like
Austria/Hungary and over into Romania to me, rather than Greece (which is
away down south). While Rootsi et al
(http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1181996) report a
significant population of I1b in Greece, this appears to be a markedly
different group from that of north-western Europe, most of which seems to be
I1a (from the same paper).

Rootsi generally makes my eyeballs ache, and this is no exception, but it
appears that we may both be right in different ways.
